In the uterus, balloon tamponade can alleviate or stop postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Inflating a Sengstaken–Blakemore tube in the uterus successfully treats atonic postpartum hemorrhage refractory to medical management in approximately 80% of cases. [2] Such procedure is relatively simple, inexpensive and has low surgical morbidity. [2]
The esophageal balloon should not remain inflated for more than six hours, to avoid necrosis. The gastric lumen is used to aspirate stomach contents. [citation needed] Generally, Sengstaken–Blakemore tubes and Minnesota tubes are used only in emergencies where bleeding from presumed varices is impossible to control with medication alone.
Other examples of intubation include balloon tamponade using a Sengstaken–Blakemore tube (a tube into the gastrointestinal tract), urinary catheterization, and nasogastric intubation using a feeding tube.

My understanding was that a 4-lumen tube (2 aspirates, 2 balloons) was known as a "Minnesota tube" and that Sengstaken-Blakemore tubes had a gastric aspirate alone. I may be mistaken -- Samir धर्म 08:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
